The reaction mixture was stirred a t 0 "C for 15 min, warmed to room temperature for 30 min, cooled to 0 OC, and then 3.62 g of 2-butyne (67 mmol; Farchan) was added dropwise via syringe. The reaction, which was immediately exothermic, was complete within 10 min. The mixture was then carefully added to ice and diluted with ether. The organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic fractions were then washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo.

bouvardin deoxybouvardin (RA-V) RA-I RA-I1 RA-I11 RA-IV 0-methyldeoxybouvardin (RA-VII) 0-methylbouvardin

Herein, we detail an effective approach to the preparation of selectively protected derivatives of L-Dopa [ ~ - 3 (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)alanine] suitable for incorporation into efforts on the total synthesis8 of bouvardin (11, deoxybouvardin (2), RA-I-RA-VII, and piperazinomycin (9) that is based on the application of the benzylic hydroperoxide rearrangement of secondary benzylic alcohols for controlled, selective phenol introdu~tion.~Comparative, past efforts on the preparation of L-Dopa derivatives bearing a selectively protected catechol have been based on the nonselective monoprotection of the unsymmetrical catechol of L-Dopa and derivatives (10-30%),10~12 diazotization of 0-methyl/ O-benzyl-3-amino-~-tyrosine derivatives and subsequent copper(1)-promoted phenol introduction (0-methyl, ca. 10%; 0-benzyl, 0%),11,12or Baey~~~~
